Stefan of Ostrheinsburg

Stefan of Ostrheinsburg (died 1584) was a German nobleman who was the lord of Ostrheinsburg during the late 16th century. Sir Stefan was known to collect several weapons.

Biography
Stefan was born to a noble family and was raised in Ostrheinsburg Castle on the eastern side of the Rhine River. He had a habit for collecting rare weapons, and was thought by many to have possession of a fabled sword called "Soul Edge".

Death
Sir Stefan was besieged by a Spanish army under Marquis Andre in 1584, facing cannon and catapults. In the middle of the battle was Siegfried Schtauffen, a bandit leader who sought the sword to avenge his own killing of his father. Siegfried killed Stefan during the chaos, but did not find Soul Edge in his collection.
